Too much damage done to this team by injuries for me to take it too seriously as a trap game. That being said, I think we won't dominate them as thoroughly as many fan's liking.
Steelers 31
Ravens 21
B. Roethlisberger 330 yards, 3 TD's
D. Williams 95 yards, 1 TD

The Ravens is never a trap game. Never. On the flip side, due to that mirrored hatred, the Ravens will come out in full force.
Ultimately, it'll come down to the QBs. Clausen is just as likely to throw an INT as he is a completion. Whereas, BB will shred that putrid Ravens secondary.
Clausen: 21/39 for 275, 2 TDs, 2 INTs
BB: 29/51 for 460, 5 TDs
Steelers: 41
Ravens: 17
i can see the steelers coming out flat for at least one of these games, but not "oh my god we could lose" flat.
without terrell suggs, joe flacco, justin forsett, and steve smith, they dont resemble the ravens to me anymore.
The Ravens may not be the same Ravens, but they're still the Ravens.
They still have Harbitch as coach, and he would want nothing more that spoil the Steelers.
Would be nice to clinch the playoff spot and then we need to root for the Broncos here...

We would be in the 5 seed with 2 wins and a Denver loss Against the Bengals in MNF.....
1. Win out
2. Go Bengals
The #5 seed means playing the Texans/Colts. Then, the next game would be against the #2 seed. Finally, the Steelers wouldn't have to play the Taperiots until the AFCCG.
And, trust me, the NFL wants a Steelers-Taperiots AFCCG.
I prefer to finish in the 5 seed and face the AFC South winner that finish in the 3rd seed and face the Jets or Broncos
It was the same thing last year(It would have been better to lose the game against the Bengals in week 17 to play in Indianapolis in the playoffs)

This one is tough because this Ravens squad looks nothing like it did last game. I have a feeling it won't be a blowout but probably never in doubt either. Jimmy Clausen under center in Baltimore bodes well for our defense and their secondary is almost as bad as ours.
21-9

Well the question is, do we hope for a Cincy collapse to take the AFCN or do we want the 5th seed more? If we take the North, we most likely play the Chiefs at home, if we get the 5th seed we would travel to Houston most likely. I can see us winning both games honestly. Hell at this point I can see us in the AFCCG with little issue. As far as the Ravens, they are way too beat up at this point to really pose a threat. We just really have to come out of these last 2 games healthy is my only concern.
I hate the bungholes and could NEVER root for them. So, I'm hoping the bronco's rip them up big time next Monday night. I think our guys will be ready to play the ratbirds and hopefully finish the season healthy is the main focus in my book.

Go Bengals and Patriots! yuck!
All Defense!
It will be the rats super bowl and, hopefully the steelers will take care of business.
Steelers win out and Bengals lose out, Steelers have a shot at the division title.
so if you guys are cheering for getting the 5th seed, you're anticipating the bengals actually end up being the #2 seed? i think itll be the broncos, and id rather just go through the patriots as the 6th seed if we get that far and after that i dont even care
Playing the Colts/Texans is the closest thing to a bye week the Steelers are going to get, that's why I want the 5th seed.
the colts/texans will be the easiest game we could possibly play for the wild card round, but most likely will force us to play at mile high, which could end up being one of the hardest places for us to play in the playoffs. before people get all cocky they need to remember we won by one score at home.
If there are no huge upset and the Bengals win in Denver, the Chiefs will win the AFC west, bengals will be in the second seed and the steelers will be in the 5th seed.Impossible that the Steelers play in Denver before the AFC title game if the Chiefs and Steelers win their last two game and the Broncos beat the 4-10 Chargers at home.
Let's keep in mind that all Baltimore is interested in at this point is ruining the Steelers season. They held back against the Chiefs just to hurt the Steelers and now with a chance to take a blow to the Steelers playoffs chances, this is their Super Bowl
Don't think anyone can win a Super Bowl with Jimmy Clausen at QB.
im not feeling good about this game...look at the qbs that have roasted our secondary this season...they could have a mr quarterback (if anyone remembers those) back there and still roast our secondary.

We want the Ravens to beat the Bengals in week 17 so - don't beat up on them too much
The next 2 weeks are the only Superbowl the Ravens can hope for this year....spoil those that do have a shot.
There play will be at its highest.
One thing:
The Chiefs would likely be the #2 seed in that scenario.
And, I covet a rematch with them, wherein BB is playing.
as long as were going through the soft part of our schedule, id like to see the back up RB's get some work. Deangelo is getting a decent amount of carries with no relief in the games he has started (19.5 carries per game).
Todman is a kid who has a 100 yard game under his belt against the Bills D-line. feed the man
there is no way this game is even close. i dont even consider this team the rats. their just the ravens if that makes sense. too many key players out to make this special. 45-10 us
